Effectiveness

None
(for breakthrough pain)

Side effects

None

Adherence

Sometimes

Burden

Somewhat hard to take

Dosage:
15 mg
Daily

Advice & Tips:
If you are still in a lot of pain after taking this, nor find one to be enough; perhaps bring it up to your doctor. Honestly, I need a larger dose, and more frequently. Unfortunately, most of the time, doctors aren't going to budge... Even if you have a legitimate need for it. People are allowed to suffer all too often. If my pain gets even worse, I rarely break down and take more. They don't understand a patient taking opiates develops a tolerance. (rendering the tiny dose less effective, or not effective at all).
